Gears

There are many types of automotive gears, each serving a specific purpose in ensuring smooth and efficient vehicle operation. At A2Z All Drive Belts, we offer a wide range of precision-engineered gears for both performance vehicles and the everyday driver. Our gears are crafted from high-quality materials to provide long-lasting strength, reliability, and seamless power transmission.

Spur Gear

A Spur Gear is one of the most common types of gears, featuring straight teeth mounted on a parallel shaft. It provides high efficiency and simple operation, making it perfect for applications requiring low-speed torque. Spur gears are used in many vehicle gearboxes for smooth and direct motion transfer

Spiral Bevel Gear

Spiral Bevel Gears have curved teeth positioned at an angle, allowing smoother and quieter operation compared to straight bevel gears. They are often found in automotive differentials, ensuring efficient torque transfer between intersecting shafts.

Internal Gear

An Internal Gear has teeth on the inside of its cylindrical surface and meshes with external gears. These are used in compact gear systems, like planetary transmissions, to deliver quiet and efficient power transfer in limited space.

Helical Gear

Helical Gears have angled teeth that engage gradually, resulting in smoother and quieter operation. Commonly used in car transmissions, they provide excellent load capacity and superior durability, ideal for performance and comfort in an everyday driver.

Miter Gear

A Miter Gear is a type of bevel gear with a 1:1 ratio, meaning it transmits motion at a right angle without changing speed. They’re widely used in steering systems and small mechanical drives.

Worm Gear

A Worm Gear features a screw-like shaft that meshes with a toothed wheel. It allows significant speed reduction and high torque output, making it perfect for precise control systems such as power steering.

Double Helical Gear (Herringbone Gear)

The Double Helical Gear, also called the Herringbone Gear, has two sets of angled teeth that cancel out axial thrust, ensuring balanced and smooth motion. They’re ideal for high-load, high-speed applications in heavy-duty vehicles.

Straight Bevel Gear

Straight Bevel Gears are designed to transmit power between perpendicular shafts. They offer reliable torque transmission and are often found in automotive differentials and gearbox assemblies.

Rack and Pinion

A Rack and Pinion system converts rotational motion into linear motion. It’s widely used in car steering mechanisms for precise control and effortless handling.
